"Thank you so much for the book on canaries. That is a really nice book. I needed one, because I bought my Mom two canaries, a male and a female, we don't know anything about them. I'm so glad to have this book, I couldn't believe how much was in there!"
"Tah-Dah! Our first chick! We followed your advice closely and it certainly paid off! Most people we have talked to didn't get chicks on their first try." Jay and Jeanne"

Customer Comments
"I'll start off by saying that seed sprouting did not register with me until I got my copy of 'Brats in Feathers'. My first attempt was a disaster until I read about stale seeds. That's when you told me about Herman Bros and I placed an order with them. I sprouted four teaspoons of the Herman Bros 'soak seed' mix, according to your recipe in Brats and they were ready today. The results are almost miraculous. Enrico sang from 9am until noon. I am hearing 'riffs' I didn't even know he was capable of. I also went to the organic food store and got some fresh kale and a leaf as big as my hand lasts about 1/2 hour. He absolutely loves kale. Enrico has gotten less aggressive, flies to his sprouts perch which is inches from my hand and waits for his sprouts and NOW is singing like his namesake, Don Enrico Caruso. Your book has been yellow magic marked to unrecognizability. What a wealth of information." P Cruise, SC
"Robirda's website and ezine are invaluable tools for any birdlover."
"I'm just starting on your fabulous book 'Brats In Feathers' and have learned a ton of things... I'm stunned at how much I have learned in so very few pages! I will devour the information in no time flat! Thanks again, I can't wait to get all the way through... It really is so very complete and informative!" S Mathews, PA
"Since my father received your book, he has read it from front to back. My dad is 85. Five weeks ago he got his first (canary) babies, he was so thrilled... out of 4 eggs the hen laid, 3 survived. They are SO beautiful! Any day now, there should be 4 more. Without the book to follow, we don't think we would have been this lucky. There is so much detail! Also his male birds are singing nicely, your CD came in handy too." S. B., USA
"...Robirda has a chock full of experience raising canaries and her website is loaded with incredibly helpful and comprehensive information about how to properly care for them. I can't tell you how many times I've gone to her website, looking for an answer to some question or problem I'm having -- and sure enough, I always find helpful information. Her book is fabulous, as well."
"I sent you the same amount the vet charged me yesterday; you have done no less than he did for my bird. You are a real blessing to all of us canary lovers the world over."
"Thanks for the great information you provide. I have learned so much from reading your work."
"You did a great job (as always) and I plan to let every bird lover I know to get their own book!! My five canaries will definitely benefit from your wisdom!" D Duncan
"Thanks for all the info. I'm new at this and have learned so much. I'm sending you the money I spent to buy a book that is not half as useful as your site."
"Your information is definitely needed! I've had canaries for several years and bred them several times...but you've taught me more than I ever knew!"
"It's everything I imagined it would be and I'm just thrilled with my copy! - so great to have and to hold!!! It's a very attractive book, and a nice size as well -one that I can easily tuck and have on hand to refer to and read whenever and wherever. "
"I ordered "Canary Tales" by Linda Hogan last year... Although I fully recommend buying the book, I find Robirda's book much more complete, easier to read with less difficulty finding information." R.C., NY
This site is dedicated to all of those who try to help others on our journey to a better
tomorrow, and especially to Jack Merkens, whose last words to me were "Promise
me you'll keep writing about those canaries! Never stop, ok? Promise!"
Okay, Jack. I promise.
